Welcome to Gaia! ::

Edmond had grown cautious of the guard standing outside the door but it was only because of certain experiences he often had. He realized this so he did not act. The problem with waiting was the suspense. It continued to build as time passed because more variables came into play. Emily could go for the office two early or the guards could discover something wrong with his background check upon a second glance. They could probably just decide to take his diamonds and try to kill him, which was something he highly doubted. From what he had seen Cobblepot was a man of business, and he was good. All these precautions made it hard to pin anything on him, Edmond would even respect Cobblepot if it wasn't illegal. However once this was all done he would have enough to make a case against Cobblepot. A weak case, but a case he could win. Unfortunately it was also a case he would not pursue until Emily decided she didn't need this job. IT was not his fault that he though like this, he was a lawyer and a vigilante, it just sorta happens.

"To Dine. Though If your Boss would like to see us, I would not deny them a meeting." "Nor would I." The two brothers said. They stood patiently and waited. Morquka had no doubt this would be an interesting experience. Rorque on the other hand was curious, mostly about what kind of stone humans could make from a variety of stones and salt. It sounded intrigueing to him, and the idea was most appetizing.

Edmond heard the familiar beep that pulled him from his deep thinking. He took out his phone and read the message then put his phone away. He was relieved that the timeline for their plan was still in order. Her traffic was compensated for by his wait which did make it slightly less bothersome. He had a little regret for not taking a drink earlier but it quickly faded when his phone beeped a second time. However this message was not from Emily. It was from one of Edmond co-workers. The message was concerning a case they were working on that had now evidently been shut down. The man they were defending had been found dead in his cell with a broken spoon in his neck. The Count cursed under his breath and put the phone away knowing full well who had killed the man yet he had no proof of it. This had been occurring every now and then for the last two months since he came to gotham, someone was screwing with him and he knew it. Putting a golden case in front of him, one that could easily be won, and then taking it away. Only now it was affecting his mindset when meeting Cobblepot, it was a problem he would need to deal with soon.

The brother's listened to the man's words and nodded in understanding. Morquka smiled, "I would expect no other. Deb Is a polite young woman, and seems to have nerves of steel. Both of which are traits to be held in high regard."

Rorque remained quiet and waited patiently.

Edmond overheard what the two were talking about. As Eric he looked scruffy enough to have been in quite a few fights and he even appeared to be missing an eye so if he said anything he figured they wouldn't mind. He waited until the girl applied her logic before he stood and walked over to the door, sticking his head out.
"Not exactly, in a fight there are a few things you watch out for, one of them is your surroundings. Your friends could have engaged in a fight and whoever the customer is may have distracted 'Honey'. That would give your other friend, what was her name... Natalia! That would have given her the perfect chance to hit someone in the back. If it was cut up and bleeding the odds are this Natalia smashed a mirror on Honey when she was distracted."

Edmond smiled after saying what he had. He knew it to be a lie but they would not. He had applied logic to a scenario that others would not so it seemed more likely. The only reason he was lying is because if he had figured Emily wanted people looking in on what happened and talking about it, she would not have tried to leave so discreetly. Then he added a little more to confuse the two.
"Keeping in mind it could have been a cheap shot you should also consider that is may not have been a fight at all. They could have both been providing a little 'extra' service when they bumped into something and it fell on Honey." Edmond liked screwing with people less intelligent with him but he was careful because in this case he knew what had happened.

"Well then the odds are that Natalia was flirting with the customer, Emily walked in on them. that probably made Natalia angry, so she probably started throwing a fit. The customer would have tired to get Emily out and in her anger Natalia probably attacked Emily with something, just before Emily could react." Edmond smiled at the two of them after his lie. Then the Count laughed a little, not an honest laugh but still a laugh. "And keeping everything possible the man could have been a real smooth talker, never assume to know what someone will do until you really know that person. It is always the quiet ones who get freaky."

"I have always found that a combination of both was best." Edmond interjected knowing what the girl was about to say, and what the man wanted her to say. Edmond smiled slightly after he said that and then shrugged. "The trouble was when they found out how you make your money. So, that's settled. Well, not really." Edmond shrugged and returned to his chair in the back of his room.
